The government’s National Public Service Week will be held from June 11-17, 2017. Federal public service workers are proudly committed to providing the services Canadians depend on. Yet thousands are still having financial troubles because they are not being paid correctly or on time.

This year, let’s use National Public Service Week to send a message: tell the government to FIX PHOENIX ONCE AND FOR ALL!

PSAC BC welcomes the agreement reached this week by the leaders of the BC NDP and BC Green Party to form a new, progressive, provincial government. Both parties made strong commitments to addressing inequality, strengthening public services, taking action on climate, and implementing electoral and campaign finance reform.

We also congratulate two new members of the BC Legislature who come from the PSAC family.

Bowinn Ma, a PSAC member who works as a Project Engineer at Vancouver International Airport, was elected as the BC NDP MLA in North Vancouver-Lonsdale.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE May 29, 2017 (Ottawa, ON) - The union representing workers who serve on the Canadian Coast Guard’s dive team is warning that cutbacks to these services could have a dramatic and dangerous impact on the travelling public. They note that while the number of employees involved may be small, the services they provide are vital and life-saving.
